drove it up the road a ways, then customer went and got it with a dolly or something, i guess

 

[Kief]

Dang! Bummer for the wreck, glad that no one was hurt and kudos for an act of generosity!

 

[gnob]

since i had to take the rope off and wash it, i made a "rope lock" for reinstall.

like this but free.

heavy duty shrink wrap?

heavy duty shrink wrap?

it's just heat shrink, ya.
i ended up almost running the line off the drum the other day. 100' of rope really isn't that much.
i needed to add some kind of indicator. this came to me while I was thinking about putting a piece of red tape or heat shrink on the line to show.
i don't think not having this fully sewn will be any sort of issue.

I have a length of rope shroud on my synth line at the drum. If the shroud peeks out the fairlead, then I'm at the end of workable rope. I took my old synth line to a shop and they made me two extensions from the remaining good lengths of rope. I think I have 100' on the drum and two lengths of about 40-50' for extensions.

i have a couple shorter, 25, 30ish footers.
been considering a longer. it would be nice to have another 100', especially at only 2lbs.
wouldn't hurt to have a couple moar soft shackles either.

eclectic mix of bits on that site.
will likely grab another snatch pulley at that price though.

Yeah, he's a bit of a tinkerer. That pulley/soft shackle combo is a good deal.

i wanted colors but not to get raped for the controller. I was able to get all but one color using two on-off-on switches. one is dpdt, one is standard.

 

[gnob]

moar.
i damaged one of the lights testing from a Milwaukee 18v. guys were awesome about getting me another one. thus the non changing hood scoop light.

 

[gnob]

bits showed up.
compared to the F55 pulley.
shackle made by Yankum for Brennan's
yellow block actually does what the F55 red fingers are supposed to do.
nice stuff. solid addition to the bag.

 

[gnob]

added a leaf to the rear.
needed some more payload.

 

[gnob]

added a cat.
hopefully this will end the gassing smells and maybe quiet the exhaust a touch.
also potential fire suppression.
had to swap the sensor for a longer pigtail.
